A New Groove Detroit Podcast Series

This is the complete spoken and sung transcript of the temporary 1:55 preview. The full AfricanTown narrated investigation is not currently published.

Disclosure: Synthetic narration, directed toward a warm, young African American woman storyteller style. It is not the voice of a real host or interview participant. “Blueprint on Dexter” supplies the standard opening and complete closing theme.
Music

“Blueprint on Dexter” opening theme begins.

Synthetic storyteller

You're listening to Groove Detroit.

Synthetic storyteller

Detroit stories don't sit still. They live in the people who remember what a block used to be, the people building what comes next, and the questions that still need an honest answer.

Synthetic storyteller

We're working on a new story-driven podcast series about Detroit's people, history, power, and possibility.

Synthetic storyteller

Our first developing story follows the vision for AfricanTown on Dexter Avenue. The reporting is still underway, and we won't rush it. We're gathering records, listening to the people closest to the story, and making room for voices you need to hear.

Music

The complete “Blueprint on Dexter” closing theme continues with an instrumental passage.

Theme vocals

We're out here on the west side, walking down Dexter.
Seventy-five west side, walking down Dexter.
Seven-five-oh-four, where the neighborhood holds its own.
Where the neighborhood holds its own.
It ain't about the sirens.
It's about the data [one short phrase is obscured by the mix]. The numbers don't lie; it's getting greater.
No cameras in the sky, just boots on the pavement.
Mapping out the blueprint, a unified statement.
This is Groove Detroit, got a name on the rise.
Stitching up the alleys where the new greenway lies.
We're digging through the noise.

Theme vocals

Finding the foundation.
Welcome to the Empowerment Hour.

Music

The closing instrumental continues to the end.
